Fireplace Conundrum

So we can't decide what to do with our fireplace... leave it at is or paint it white?

We wanted to paint it as soon as we moved in, but didn't want to regret our rushed decision later so we held off. I think it's time to paint, what do you think?

Really? Who decided black mortar was a good idea? Oh 1978 interior designers!

i say paint it white and then paint the mantle another color (or stain like ashley said)... our fireplace is painted white and i love it - brightened the entire space up. :) you could paint the mantel the brown that is in your rug.
